What is wrong with you Bungie?! Oh sure you improved the accuracy of low range fusion rifles, but otherwise it's another nerf. Why no extra damage buff in PvE? Why do you keep nerfing a gun type that doesn't need nerfing and isn't being used in PvE, and barely at all in PvP?
Anyone I talk to about fusion rifles, or play with 99% of the time scoff or get disappointed when they find a fusion rifle, or have to use one for a bounty because oh yeah... THEY SUCK IN PvE AND PvP! Not to mention armor piercing rounds got removed from the perk table for HoW fusion rifles, only the old ones have them.
Bungie, I'm a beta player of Destiny and I'm saying this from experience: Stop nerfing the fusion rifle! That is the only unique gun in this game that feels futuristic, acts futuristic and is a really fun gun. Why even nerf it more when you fully well know it is hardly ever used across both PvE and PvP??? If you want to remove a gun type from the game, just remove it already, nobody uses any except Mythoclast and Breaker Bow.

I agree. Most everything else makes sense, as they're nerfing overused things and buffing auto rifles (I think, but that might turn out to not be true). But I almost never see fusion rifles. I love the idea, but I don't use them because of their lack of place in the meta. What's this crap about high impact low charge rate fusion rifles getting a range nerf? You [b]cannot[/b] fire a fusion rifle before someone else shotguns you if you're in close quarters. The range difference between shotguns and fusion rifles is the one thing that keeps them alive. Of course, the range deduction could be really small, but the article didn't put it that way. If anything, fusion rifles need a slight buff. There needs to be an increase in range, perhaps a bit more accuracy but not much, and the ability to deal precision damage. That I think is what kills it in PVE especially. Just my 2 cents.
